Product details
Overview
VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a blue surface-mount LED using InGaN-on-sapphire technology, housed in a PLCC-2 package with ±60° viewing angle, 90 mcd typical luminous intensity at 10 mA, and 469 nm typical dominant wavelength. It delivers stable optical output for automotive dashboard backlighting, office equipment indicators, and LCD symbol illumination under industrial ambient conditions.
For engineers reviewing the VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 datasheet, VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 pinout, VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 application, or VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 equivalent, this page provides verified optical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, JEDEC level 2a moisture sensitivity handling, and real-world SMD mounting guidance for reliable high-volume assembly.
Technical Context
The VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 operates as a forward-biased light-emitting diode with a 3.2–4.2 V forward voltage at 20 mA drive current and exhibits a negative temperature coefficient of −3 mV/K for VF and −0.4 %/K for luminous intensity. Its PLCC-2 package integrates a white thermoplastic lead frame and clear epoxy-filled reflector to maximize light extraction efficiency.
Designed for IR reflow, vapor-phase, and wave soldering per J-STD-020 and CECC 00802, the device supports automated placement on 8 mm tape (GS08 = 1500 pcs/reel) and meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements for automotive-grade reliability across −40 °C to +100 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Luminous intensity | 90 mcd typical at 10 mA - defines brightness level for indicator visibility under standard test pulse conditions |
| Dominant wavelength | 469 nm typical - specifies spectral peak for accurate blue color reproduction in UI elements |
| Forward voltage | 3.2–4.2 V at 20 mA - determines minimum supply headroom and series resistor sizing for constant-current drive |
| Viewing angle | ±60° - sets angular spread for uniform illumination across flat-panel symbols or switch legends |
| Junction temperature | 110 °C max - constrains thermal design margin when mounted on PCBs with >16 mm² copper pad |
| ESD withstand | 2 kV HBM per JESD22-A114-B - informs ESD handling protocol during board assembly and test |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Yes - confirms suitability for automotive interior lighting applications without additional qualification effort |
Pinout & Package
The VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 uses a 2-pin PLCC-2 surface-mount package with molded white thermoplastic body, integrated reflector cavity, and clear epoxy lens. Dimensions are 3.5 mm × 2.8 mm × 1.75 mm (L × W × H), with 2.2 mm center-to-center pin spacing and 0.8 mm pin thickness.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Positive DC input terminal | Must be connected to current source or resistor-limited supply; polarity reversal causes no light emission and risks damage |
| Cathode (C) | Ground return path | Connected to system ground or low-side switch; PCB layout must maintain thermal relief for heat dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| InGaN-on-sapphire die | Enables high-efficiency blue emission with stable wavelength control and reduced thermal drift vs. GaN-on-silicon |
| EIA/ICE-standard PLCC-2 footprint | Ensures compatibility with industry-standard pick-and-place machines and reflow profiles without custom tooling |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates robustness for automotive interior use including temperature cycling, humidity exposure, and mechanical shock |
| JEDEC level 2a preconditioning | Defines maximum floor life (672 h at ≤30 °C / 60 % RH) before baking is required prior to reflow soldering |
| 2 kV HBM ESD rating | Reduces need for external protection circuitry in low-risk handling environments such as controlled assembly lines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar blue LED applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLMB41P2Q2-GS08 | Higher luminous intensity bin: 56–112 mcd vs. 45–112 mcd for VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 | Suitable where higher brightness is needed without changing drive current or optics | Select VLMB41P2Q2-GS08 when tighter luminance consistency across production batches is required |
| OSRAM LBT67C | Different package geometry (PLCC-2 variant), 470 nm typical λd, 85 mcd typical IV at 10 mA | Requires validation of mechanical fit and thermal performance due to non-identical pad layout | Consider LBT67C only after confirming footprint compatibility and performing comparative photometric testing |
Compared with VLMB41P1Q2-GS08, VLMB41P2Q2-GS08 offers higher minimum luminous intensity but identical electrical and thermal specs, while OSRAM LBT67C provides similar optical performance in a functionally equivalent yet mechanically distinct PLCC-2 variant requiring layout verification.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current for VLMB41P1Q2-GS08?
The absolute maximum DC forward current for VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 is 20 mA at ambient temperatures ≤ 80 °C. Exceeding this value risks accelerated degradation or thermal runaway. The device is characterized at 10 mA for luminous intensity and 20 mA for forward voltage, making 15–18 mA a practical design limit for long-life operation.
Does VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 require baking before reflow soldering?
Yes - VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 is rated JEDEC level 2a and must be baked if exposed to ambient conditions exceeding 672 hours at ≤30 °C / 60 % RH after opening the dry bag. Recommended bake conditions are 96 hours at 60 °C + 5 °C and <5 % RH for reels, or 24 hours at 100 °C + 5 °C for loose devices (not reels).
Is VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes - VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with a peak package body temperature limit of 260 °C for ≤10 seconds. The recommended profile includes ramp-up ≤3 °C/s, time above 217 °C of 60–150 s, and cooling rate ≤6 °C/s.
What does the "P1Q2" suffix indicate in VLMB41P1Q2-GS08?
The "P1Q2" suffix denotes luminous intensity and dominant wavelength bins: "P1" specifies 45–56 mcd intensity group, and "Q2" indicates 90–112 mcd intensity group - confirming this part is shipped in the higher-intensity Q2 bin. Wavelength binning follows separate codes (e.g., Group 4 = 466–472 nm).
Can VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 be used in outdoor message boards?
No - VLMB41P1Q2-GS08 is rated for −40 °C to +100 °C operating temperature but lacks UV-stabilized encapsulation or ingress protection. Its clear epoxy lens is not rated for prolonged outdoor UV exposure or condensation resistance, making it suitable only for indoor or sheltered applications like office equipment or automotive interiors.
